Late afternoon/evening yesterday presented lots of bird activity centered in
and around the front yard dogwood tree. it's full of berries and bright
crimson leaves....and birds! The robins were in a bit of a feeding frenzy,
with some bluebirds and flickers and red bellied woodpeckers. In the feeding
madness were nuthatches and downies. In trees and shrubs nearby, a couple of
yellow-rumps were present, too, and of course several chickadees and the vocal
Carolina Wrens. Cardinals and titmice came in for a sunflower seed but were
just understated in the louder larger group. We heard a thrush but never saw
it...And have I mentioned the large and energetic number of chickadees! they
must have had a good year!
Some of these birds are moving through, some are coming to winter here. Fall
is a most amazing time.
